Newark protest decries lack of indictment in Eric Garner case

NEWARK - Last week, more than 200 protesters chanted "Hands up, don't shoot!" in Newark as they demonstrated against a grand jury's decision to not indict a white police officer in the fatal shooting of an 18-year-old African-American man in Ferguson, Missouri in August. On Thursday, a similarly-sized group in the same place had a new chant: "I can't breathe," which were among the last words spoken by Eric Garner, an African-American man who died after being placed in a chokehold by a white police officer during a scuffle on Staten Island in July. Another grand jury failed to indict that police officer on Wednesday, leading to a wave of protests around the nation.
